Great way to see Galway! - I had a great tour with Alex. Despite the rain it was a very fun tour!! The electric bikes made it easier to see more of Galway than if I was walking and were very fun to ride. Alex did a great job of pointing out where the best places to eat and drink were and knew a lot of cool history and facts about Galway. 10/10 would definitely do again!

Outstanding! - This was an amazing experience even though it rained, hard at times, the whole ride.
Nonetheless it was so much fun riding around the area and learning more about Galway and Salthill. Alex was an excellent guide and great at instructing me on how to ride an eBike, a first for me. The smart helmets made communicating very easy and gave me a strong sense of security. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and highly recommend this tour.

BEWARE, be careful! - This bike tour of Galway was really wonderful! We were able to see so much in a short amount of time. Our tour guide was excellent and concerned with our safety and gave great instructions and allowed us time to try out the bikes, so we felt comfortable.
The downside, and reason for the 3 stars is the risk you’re taking, even if you are very comfortable on a bike as I am. At the very end of our tour, I fell with the bike and broke my ankle in a split second. Thankfully, I was not going fast, I was actually stopping, but my bike went down and fell on and twisted my ankle and broke it. Just beware that these bikes are heavier than a regular bike. I felt like I had complete control of it and this still happened. I am in my 50s, very fit and athletic. Of course this was an accident but if I had been aware of the number of accidents and injuries on E bikes, I may have thought twice before trying it on our vacation.
